Hi. I posted what appears below, but got no answer related to the problem. I suggest you build a file in binary with characters 0xA4 (standard coding for euro symbol) and 0x80 (how MS codes it), and print it. In my printer, the euro symbol appears on 0x80's. I haven't seen any effect with or without '/etc/apsfilterrc.y2prn_lp.upp'. ----------------------------------------- Hi. Although in SuSE 7.2 I can handle the Euro symbol in text consoles and X, I've tested printing with a file built in binary containing characters 0xA4's (the Euro symbol in ISO 8859-15) and 0x80's (the Euro for Microsoft). Surprisingly, 0x80's showed the Euro symbol in the printing, but not the 0xA4's (it showed something like an 'o' with four little marks). Looking in sdb.suse.com, I only found to include a file '/etc/apsfilterrc.y2prn_lp.upp' with contents: ENCODING="ISO-8859-15" No success at all. (I had configured the printer with CUPS, which correctly found it). The printer is an Epson Stylus Color 400 (I suppose a Windows printer). Any idea to get the Euro symbol correctly printed? BTW, someone figures why Microsoft chose 0x80 for the Euro, being 0xA4 the supposed standard? TIA. ----------------------------------------- ----- Mensaje original ----- De: "scc" Para: "SuSE" Enviado: domingo, 03 de marzo de 2002 2:47 Asunto: Re: [SLE] Euro sign in KDE : On Saturday 02 March 2002 20:43, you wrote: : > On Saturday 02 March 2002 17:39, Constant Brouerius van Nidek wrote: : > > Sorry but I know that there was a long discussion if and how to get the : > > euro sign written and shown with Kde I belief. : > > Was there a final conclusion about the correct setup? : > : > Your best bet is to read these pages: : > : > http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/jkoeke_euro.html : > http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/jkoeke_foreign_euro.html : > : > Everything should work (and you can type the Euro symbol - €€€) if you : > follow the instructions on one of these pages. : > : > C. : : The following appears in this document : <snip> : : Please add at the end of the appropriate filter file /etc/apsfilterrc... the : following line: : : ENCODING="ISO-8859-15" : : The correct /etc/apsfilterrc... file is : : /etc/apsfilterrc.y2prn_SPOOLQUEUE.upp : : where 'SPOOLQUEUE' is 'lp' for the standard printer queue or, if you : configured another printer queue, the name of that queue. : </snip> : : Where is the apsilterrc.y2prn:xxx.upp in SuSE 7.3.
